Cathy is back with a beautifulbotanical drawing for you! If you haven't taken a class with Cathy yet you're in for a great treat! Cathy has this amazing ability to break down the botantical element into managable pieces so that anyone (and I mean anyone) can create beautiful drawings! 
No prior illustraion drawing required. You’ll learn how to study the basic shapes of flowers in order to use a step-by-step method of drawing. Shading/hatching techniques will also be taught. Upon completion you’ll not only have a stunning work of art, you’ll gain a new level of confidence and be amazed at the result!  I've hear so many students say "I can't believe that I drew that!" after taking one of Cathy's classes!

Forgotten Places
​with Deb Prewitt, CZT

When:  September 25, 12 - 2 and 3 - 5 EDT
Cost: $79
Live and Recorded class on Zoom.

​
​There are those places that are just on the edge of our consciousness, where we can almost recognize them. Perhaps leftover memories frm childhood daydreaming, or remnants from our dreams, something remembered from a book, or maybe places from another world or time. A glimpse into our imagination. They are often just on our periphery, but we can choose to see them. 
In this class we will explore using watercolors and ink to find those forgotten images. Students will work on several small pieces in class, playing with color and lines and personal imagery. The class is broken up into 2 parts, working with wet media first, taking a break, then working with inks and details second.
